Are you looking for a fun, romantic read to keep you cool and smiling through the heat? If so, I've got just the thing! My good friend, Maria Geraci, has a new book out that <i>RT Book Reviews</i> called "a great, easy breezy summer read that will keep you captivated until the end." And I'm going to give you a shot at your very own autographed copy! See below for details.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>From the author of the <b>The Boyfriend of the Month Club</b>, <b>A Girl Like You</b> promises humor, entertainment, sympathetic characters and a heartwarming romance.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What if you found out you were the ugly friend?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Emma Frazier is smart, hardworking, and
loves her job as a journalist for a Florida lifestyle magazine. Emma
knows she’s no great beauty, but she’s pretty certain she has a shot
with her handsome new boss, Ben Gallagher—until Emma overhears a mutual
acquaintance refer to her as the “ugly friend.” In an effort to reclaim
her battered self-esteem, Emma decides to impress Ben at work by
promising an exclusive interview with NASCAR legend, Trip Monroe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Emma and Trip went to high school
together and although it’s been fourteen years since they’ve spoken,
Emma is certain she can score an interview with the elusive super star.
But connecting with Trip turns out to be harder than Emma imagined. Her
quest for the interview leads her back to her tiny hometown of Catfish
Cove, where old secrets and a new romantic interest shake up Emma’s
views on life and teach her that maybe the key to finding true love is
as simple as accepting yourself for the person you were always meant to
be.</div>

It's actually *cold* here in Austin! Like winter, almost! DO NOT LIKE. So to get myself revved up, I'm offering a sizzling hot read for our giveaway today: <b><a href="http://www.candacehavens.com/index.php/books/">Model Marine</a></b> by the fabulous Candace Havens!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.candacehavens.com/images/sized/images/uploads/Model-Marine-0x225.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.candacehavens.com/images/sized/images/uploads/Model-Marine-0x225.jpg" /></a></div>Just take one look at that cover, and you will NEED to get your hands on it. Yum! And what's inside is just as sexy and delightful:<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; padding-left: 1em;"><div style="font-style: italic; line-height: normal;"><strong>Subject:</strong> Captain Will Hughes, US Marine Corps<br />
<strong>Current Status:</strong> On assignment in NYC-suddenly recruited to shed the uniform!<br />
<strong>Mission:</strong> Serve as model, muse and man-toy without running afoul of the General.<br />
<strong>Obstacle:</strong> Hannah Harrington, fashion world It Girl.</div></blockquote><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">Hannah narrowly escaped Fashion Week disaster by hijacking gorgeous Will for her runway show: after all, rock-hard abs are the ultimate accessory. His good deed nearly lands him in the brig, but he'll risk anything to get back into her bed....</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">Hannah can't figure out how this model Marine got under her skin-they're complete opposites! But sexy Will not only ignites her senses, he fuels her creativity: an irresistible combination, even if it can't last. Can two steamy weeks together satisfy their lust...or will they have to extend this mission?</div><br />

I've got award-winning author Lauren Willig's first book in her popular swashbuckling romantic mystery series. <i><a href="http://laurenwillig.com/books/carnation.html">The Secret History of the Pink Carnation</a></i> was called "a deftly hilarious, sexy novel" by Eloisa James; Meg Cabot pronounced it "pure fun!" You definitely don't want to miss the book that started it all.<br />
<br />

The day she wears her new suede boots, it rains. When the subway stops short, she's the one thrown into some stranger's lap. And she's had her share of misfortune in the way of love. So, after deciding that romantic heroes must be a thing of the past, Eloise is ready for a fresh start.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Setting off for England, Eloise is determined to finish her dissertation on two spies, the Scarlet Pimpernel and the Purple Gentian. But what she discovers is something historians have missed: the secret history of the Pink Carnation-the most elusive spy of all time. As she works to unmask this obscure spy, Eloise has more and more questions. Like, how did the Pink Carnation save England from Napoleon? What became of the Scarlet Pimpernel and the Purple Gentian? And will Eloise Kelly escape her bad luck and find a living, breathing hero of her own?</span></div><div align="justify"><br />

Today, I have the fantastic, amazing, gorgeous Gena Showalter's <i><a href="http://members.genashowalter.com/page/intertwined-series">Intertwined</a></i>. It's the first book in her hugely popular young adult paranormal series, and if you haven't read her, this is a great book to start with. She's a #1 New York Times bestselling author for a reason, y'all!<br />

It's a big, beautiful trade paperback with fancy edges to the pages, French flaps (sounds naughty, right?) and a stunning cover. What's inside isn't too shabby either! The book tells the heartwarming story of a woman who loses everything--only to discover a brand new sisterhood and a wonderful new life thanks to her long lost childhood best friend.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

So is her once-happy thirty-four-year marriage to Lee. They'd given up everything to come back to New Bern from Boston and start their business, but now they're wondering if they made the right decision. To relieve the strain, Tessa signs up for a quilting class at the Cobbled Court Quilt Shop, and to her surprise, rediscovers the power of sisterhood - along with the childhood friend she thought she'd lost forever...Madelyn Beecher left New Bern twenty years ago and never looked back. But when her husband is convicted of running a Ponzi scheme and she's left with nothing but her late grandmother's cottage, she is forced to return to the town she fled. Unfortunately, the cottage is in terrible shape. Madelyn's only hope is to transform it into an inn. But to succeed, she'll need the help of her fellow quilters, including the one friend she never thought she'd see again - or forgive. Now Madelyn and Tessa will have to relive old memories, forge new ones, and realize it's possible to start over, one stitch at a time - as long as you're surrounded by friends...</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

This time I've got Megan Hart's taut, emotional look at what it's like to live in a cult. Fascinating, no?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">In the midst of a chaotic midnight assembly, Sunshine is forced out into the darkness. Holding a scrap of paper scrawled with a stranger’s name and address, Sunny grasps the hands of her three small children and begins her escape.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">Liesel Albright has dreamed of starting a family. She never bargained on inheriting one already in progress…or one so deeply damaged. When nineteen-year-old Sunshine appears on the Albright’s doorstep claiming Liesel’s husband Chris is her father, all they can think to offer is temporary shelter. The next day, they’re stunned by the news that the Family of Superior Bliss, led by a charismatic zealot, has committed mass suicide. Sunny and her children haven’t just left the compound–they’ve been left behind.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">Now, instead of a baby of her own, Liesel must play mother to the four survivors while Chris retreats into guilt and denial. For Sunny, however, a lifetime of teachings is not easily unlearned. No matter how hard she tries to forget, an ominous catechism echoes in her mind, urging her to finish what the Family started.</span></span><br />

With all that going on, I need a jump start! And what better way to get into the spirit than to give out gifts?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://kierankramerbooks.com/images/GiveaGirlaViscount.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://kierankramerbooks.com/images/GiveaGirlaViscount.jpg" width="196" /></a></div>Today I'm offering up a copy of the hilarious, adorable Regency romp <i>If You Give a Girl a Viscount</i>, signed by author Kieran Kramer!<br />
<br />
This is the fourth in her Impossible Bachelors series, and it might just be my favorite of all. To read an excerpt and watch a super cute book trailer, click <a href="http://kierankramerbooks.com/books/viscount/">here</a>!<br />
<br />
Here's what the book's all about:<br />

For years, they’ve made life miserable for Daisy. But when she discovers she has a godmother, she’s determined to ask her for help. Little did Daisy expect her godmother to play matchmaker with her very own grandson—who happens to be a viscount!</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><em style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Is he ready to put a ring on it?</em></strong><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />A freewheeling playboy, Charles Thorpe, Viscount Lumley, is bored with his wealth-seeking female admirers. Not only that, he’s been cut off from the family coffers. One day, on a bet, he rids himself of what little money he has left in his pockets and vows to solve problems using his wits alone. But when the Impossible Bachelor is confronted with Daisy’s plan to save her castle, the payoff is more than he could have bargained for. Sometimes, if you give a girl a viscount, you just might find love….</div><br />

Among other nice things, the reviewer calls the book "a unique, witty, and romantic read" and she gives it the thumbs up for detail on the realty television side, from her own background as a producer! Very cool. <a href="http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com/t5/Heart-to-Heart-The-BN-Romance/Some-Like-it-Hot-by-Louisa-Edwards/ba-p/1226554">Read the review here.</a><div><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 32px;">Danny had to push hard to get his dish finished, but once he'd gotten his brainwave, it was all downhill work from there.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 32px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 32px;">He'd watched Theo haul his daughter out to the metaphorical woodshed, clearly pissed as hell, and when they came back in, Eva had that look. The too-perfect, put together face that hid everything vibrant and real about her behind a façade of serene professionalism.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 32px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 32px;">It was Eva’s game face.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 32px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 32px;">Danny felt an unwilling tug of sympathy. He knew, from personal experience, nobody could tear into you, make you bleed and cry, like family. And he had what he considered a really good relationship with his parents.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 32px;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=5029145715617777349" name="OLE_LINK8"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><br />
</span></a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 32px;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=5029145715617777349" name="OLE_LINK8"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">From what he could tell, Eva would say the same. She obviously loved her father. As much as he held her position in the family company over her head or hurt her feelings or fucked around with a lot of women, she adored him. And it made sense. Theo was all she’d had, ever since she was little.</span></a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 32px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 32px;">It made Danny remember the story she'd told him, about her dad cooking French pancakes for her when she was a kid. The memory had been a happy one, he knew, a moment in time when she and her father had been in perfect harmony, the sweet and bitter of life balanced and blended, rolled up in a crisp-tender, golden crepe and dusted with confectioner's sugar.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 32px;"><u><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><br />
</span></u></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 32px;"><u><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">French pancakes</span></u><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">, he thought, a grin tugging at his mouth. He loved that she still called them that, even after a lifetime of five-star French meals and trips to Paris.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 32px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 32px;">And then, as if Eva had waltzed over and whispered it in his ear, Danny knew exactly what he was going to make. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">“In the latest toothsome addition to her Rising Star Chef series, Edwards delivers an emotionally engaging love story, expertly spiced with love scenes hot enough to caramelize crème brûlée. As the icing on this literary cake, the mouthwatering descriptions of the dishes prepared and realistically rendered kitchen scenes prove Edwards is as gifted at writing about food as about romance.” --<i>Booklist</i> on <i>Some Like it Hot</i><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">And now it's finally here! Happy book birthday to Danny and Eva, the hero and heroine of <i>Some Like it Hot</i>. I can't wait for all of you to read their story and follow along with their kitchen exploits in the second installment of my Rising Star Chef trilogy. </div><br />

</i></div><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Some Like it Hot</i> is my scorching follow-up to last August’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Too Hot to Touch</i>…and my first ever pastry chef hero! Danny Lunden stole scenes (and readers’ hearts!) when he first appeared, and I’m thrilled to share his story of love, family, and fabulous confections with all of you. Especially since reviewers are already licking their lips over it! <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">RT BookReviews</i> gave SLiH four and a half stars, saying “Edwards gives readers exactly what they’re looking for: a great storyline and wonderful characters, some of them loveable, some of them smoking hot.” Rowr!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">Want to hear about the story? Well, as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">RT</i> puts it, <span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">“</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Danny Lunden is a take-care kind of guy and he will go to the wall for those he loves. Competing in the Rising Star Chef Competition is a great way to get publicity for his family restaurant, and focus all his attention on the job he loves best. Eva Jansen has taken over running the competition from her father and she is determined to do it right. Danny intrigues her; he’s kind, caring and not impressed by her or her money, and when they get together, sparks fly. But with the competition beginning to spiral out of control and her father breathing down her neck, Eva has no time for a relationship and Danny agrees. Still, they are drawn together, until Eva’s bid to keep the contest dramatic threatens to destroy their fragile trust.”</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><br />

But when the two meet up again in an elevator—alone—they share more than just passion. They share a kiss hot enough to start a kitchen fire—and they’re hungry for more. To indulge their new secret craving, Eva and Danny have to break every rule in the cookbook.

<div style="border-collapse: collapse;"><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Rukh O'Shay, half-djinn and assassin, is used to taking out the bad guys. But his latest assignment, Texas Journalist Sarah White, is nothing like he expected. A glimpse of her bright aura reveals her gentle spirit, while her beauty makes him long for only one thing—to taste her.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sarah shares the raw desire to connect with Rukh. He can turn her on with a glance, and satisfies needs she didn't even know she had.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But Rukh had been hired to kill her—and the only way to save her is to find out who wants her dead before someone else finishes the job….</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

But instead, I've got this IDEA. A really fun, fresh, sexy idea keeps flashing snippets of dialogue and interactions between some truly fascinating people through my brain. So I'm not sitting around anymore...I'm writing the next trilogy!<div><br />
</div><div>Starting a new trilogy is always exhilarating--equal parts exciting and terrifying. But the best part, hands down, is discovering and getting to know a whole new crop of characters. One of the first things I like to do is to find inspiration for the physical features of each characters--and, predictably, I always start with the heroes. </div><div><br />
</div><div>For the new trilogy, the current incarnations of my heroes (which could all change in the writing, as I find out more and more about them, so don't take this as a promise or a spoiler) include:</div><div><br />
</div><div>A wounded FDNY fire fighter, Irish-American, black hair and blue eyes. Rough around the edges, but decent and honorable to his bones. Not a "bad boy" type.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgceFeXf0jdMX7GYEzhfK0wmUuUdTKvb_Ih7yMaPH1O4ieCY_RfnSQTCIMl1kFkjT5DO0DE45yqARfckhA3ofh3aIt2eu4D5YnmgYc__6tNVGT1h-sriXSrlVtKf3btuqFYMmLjylrrtK0/s1600/henry-cavill.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgceFeXf0jdMX7GYEzhfK0wmUuUdTKvb_Ih7yMaPH1O4ieCY_RfnSQTCIMl1kFkjT5DO0DE45yqARfckhA3ofh3aIt2eu4D5YnmgYc__6tNVGT1h-sriXSrlVtKf3btuqFYMmLjylrrtK0/s320/henry-cavill.jpg" width="292" /></a></div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>A total bad boy! Basically the Indiana Jones of investigative journalism, with blond hair, green eyes, and a killer smile.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWEG1zHSJ9Hur0tiJZpjfjmzCTB1kTjDDo0TouY_UlUUzXSBhQFr-qqXCiYM_c3akv4yPbZqtMDRZjPRPN78x3os_V35o5xIYwX2uWVA7PJ2Rmfz9QkRCaAyqO06Bz-6oNKcCRkWt6fg8/s1600/ryan_gosling-300x266.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWEG1zHSJ9Hur0tiJZpjfjmzCTB1kTjDDo0TouY_UlUUzXSBhQFr-qqXCiYM_c3akv4yPbZqtMDRZjPRPN78x3os_V35o5xIYwX2uWVA7PJ2Rmfz9QkRCaAyqO06Bz-6oNKcCRkWt6fg8/s1600/ryan_gosling-300x266.jpg" /></a></div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>An ex-NYC chef, bitter and sarcastic, with a core of hidden vulnerability and decency. He'll also be my first almost-ginger hero! I'm thinking reddish-brown hair, gray eyes, and enough of a scruff to almost constitute a real beard.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6F509sLorLwjzbtAr6P16A-n1_mdml3oZ3KdLKGl1J9xgI0x4Oz8pchJxC7eBOANLTxYopepUA0A3UoI2K7YAsqJbOLTb5ooXTk-seO5XXOsPD-ifpAk7cuzlMmNa4RHD4z9o77tgq-I/s1600/images.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6F509sLorLwjzbtAr6P16A-n1_mdml3oZ3KdLKGl1J9xgI0x4Oz8pchJxC7eBOANLTxYopepUA0A3UoI2K7YAsqJbOLTb5ooXTk-seO5XXOsPD-ifpAk7cuzlMmNa4RHD4z9o77tgq-I/s1600/images.jpeg" /></a></div><div><br />

Or, as one of my beta readers put it, You Better Like it Hot. That's Danny's book, boys and girls, and it's smokin'! As you can probably tell by the oh-so-sexy cover. Sadly, that cover didn't make it onto the advance review copies this time around, but I promise, the book is just as yummy on the inside. ; )<br />
<br />
Would you like to read it early? Before it hits shelves on November 29th? If so, just answer this one question: What's hotter...a guy who can cook you a gourmet dinner? Or a guy who can whip up a decadent dessert?<br />

Our flight back to Austin has already been cancelled, so it looks like we're going to be here for Irene! Heading to a friend's house in Pennsylvania tomorrow, if the roads are safe enough.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I wanted to let you know about a Q&A I'll be doing on Goodreads next week! I'll be answering questions and hanging out with readers from August 28th through the 30th. Come on by and say 'hi'! I promise I'll be as honest as possible, no matter what you ask me...and, of course, we'll be doing a giveaway. I've got signed copies of <i>Too Hot to Touch</i>, and rumor has it there are a few advance reading copies of <i>Some Like it Hot</i> heading my way...<br />
